I got almost home tonight and was stopped at a light. It felt as though the engine was surging, and the rpm's were fluctuating a little bit.
When I got home, I played around a little bit while sitting still. While in gear (any gear), the rpm's seemed fine. As soon as I dropped it into neutral or park, the rpm's dropped to about 500. When I put it back in gear, the idle would come back up to around 700.
I'm going to pull the IAC tonight and give it a clean to see if that makes any change. Anyone have any other thoughts?
I'm thinking I've got transmission issues (see my hiccup/stumble thread) as well, and I don't know if this is related or not. I'm about ready to drive this thing off a cliff.
For record, it's an 03 FX4 4.0L with an auto trans. with just shy of 97k.
